If Any One Tries to Establish Anarchy
Shoot Him on the Spot.''

"If Any One Tries to Establish, Anarchy
Shoot Him on the Spot.''
New York, Dec. 14.-In his speech at
the Nineteenth Century club recently
Andrew Carnegie said: "There is no
justification in this country for socialism,
because there are no paupers.7 He de-
fed any N an ito say that there is pauper-
ism here ''It is a fact perfectly well
known that there is not an honest, sober,
Industrious man in this country who can
not earn enough to pay for the schooling
of his children, live in comfort and pro-
vide competency for his old age. The
socialists are against property, but
who are the socialists? They are not
working people. Mr.. Powderly is
work people in this country. He is not
against property, nor are the men under
him against property Ask Mr.. Wright,
head of the Amalgamated Iron and Steel
Workers association, the most powerful
organizations of it's kind in the country,
and. indeed: in the world, if he is against
property, and he will tell you no. Ask
Mr.. Arthur, chief of the Brotherhood Of
Locomotive Engineers, if he is againsh
property, aud he will tell you no.
Socialists are men who talk or rant
Instead Of seeking work they seek gloomy
halls, where they rant about wages,
slavery and wrongs of property. They
are mostly foreigners, and the scum and
dregs of their native population, idle,
meier do well and dissipated. They are
the men whom the honest workingmen
of the country turn their backs upon.
WorkingEen of this country make their
own laws, and if these laws don't suit
them they change them; they
are consequently their own mast
ers and they say to for
eigners who come here to tell them they
are wage slaves, go to work and make
industrious, quiet citizens of yourselves,
Or we will make quiet corpses of you.
During the late war expression was given
to the popular sentiment in. regard to
anyone who attempted to pull down the
United States flag in the words, Shoot
him on the spot;' and if anyone attempts
to establish anarchy in this country the
cry again will be Shoot him on the
spot. .N
